When you walk into The Hair Wharf salon, you’re part of the family. That’s the mission at this salon, that every client that walks through the door doesn’t just leave happy, but to feel like they’ve just visited their second home. And a tropical home at that, since there are mermaids everywhere inside. That’s because the Hair Wharf started in Katonah in June of 1976 with previous owners Carol and John having dreamed of a salon on the wharf of the water, eventually even retired to the beach, so The Hair Wharf has kept this dream alive with their aquatic decor.
The relationships built with clients is truly what sets The Hair Wharf apart from any other salon. They have stylists from each generation, so there really is someone for everyone, who can share in navigating, supporting, and comforting their clients through all different stages of life. The connections that the stylists make with their clientele “go beyond the salon chair”, whether it’s celebrating major milestones or dealing with hard times together, it’s a special bond that gets made here at The Hair Wharf. According to them, “We love to have fun, we laugh, cry together and at times every client and stylist are in the same conversation. There are times where we all are laughing so much that you hear us from outside, and yes while the doors are closed.” It isn’t just how you look that’s important to The Hair Wharf, but how you feel while you're with them and thereafter.
The Hair Wharf provides a range of services, really showing that all are welcome. These services involve both men and women hair cuts as well as teen hair cuts. All walks of life are welcome as they even provide first hair cutting. Other services involved are hair color and root touch up, hi lights, gloss and keratin treatments, and extensions. They even provide facial waxing and make up services as well. They therefore provide everything from haircuts to a full makeover.
Some at home tips that you can follow courtesy of The Hair Wharf are simple. For all the ladies, if you feel like your hair gets greasy fast, especially when you air dry your hair, then it’s a good idea to try to dry at least the roots of your hair and then let the rest air dry. This is because water and oil don’t mix, and that includes the grease in hair. For all the guys, they advise that when you put any product in your hair to not distribute it to the sides and the back of the hair. They also emphasize that less is more, so be sure to not put in too much either. Small touches like these can really make a difference to keep hair looking fresh in between visits.
